Hi guys,

My question for you is very simple :. Is Article Marketing Still Effective For SEO Purposes After The Last Google Update ?

I have experienced good results with Article Marketing after the last Google update and I was wondering if somebody have seen good results with this too. In my case now it`s easier to rank websites using this method but the same thing doesn`t apply when i try to rank a web 2.0 property (a squidoo lens, a hubpages hub etc)

Anybody here experienced the same results like mine ?

If yes what solution have you found now to rank web 2.0 sites ?

Anticipated thanks for your responses

I still do article submission, just very few...

I really can’t see any results from article directories, I published more than 100 articles in top directories, but not more than 2-3 days in a day.

You have published unique content articles for every one of them?

I have read that Article Marketing is no more very effective as Google is giving them less importance..

**SassyAtasha** · 04-13-2011, 02:03 AM

Yes Article writing is still essential in SEO campaign.

**ryangetty** · 04-13-2011, 03:17 AM

Yes, it is effective source for building links and traffic.

**melovemoney** · 04-14-2011, 03:50 PM

I would say that article marketing is still effective just not AS effective as it once was. You will now get less traffic and less link juice from your links.

Hello. Article marketing is still very effective. Especially if you make it bulk

There are a lot of programs these days which can help you to cope with this task by rewriting and submitting your posts to different article networks. Also choose some article bases to submit to manually, aiming at great content and target audience. I would suggest something like ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com and selfgrowth.com. The last one btw is a relatively new resource, but a highly efficient one. I would also recommend creating an "expert page" there. It helps to rank top on google without extreme efforts.

Concerning software to organize massive submission of your articles, successfully rewrited beforehand by the same software usage, I would suggest getting such as, for example, "article demon", "demon rewriter", "demon spin" or "the best spinner".

Of course, that's of my personal preferences and experience and may be completely unacceptable to somebody else. So USE article marketing and I wish you good luck with SEO and ranking issues

It only shows how ineffective submitting articles to article directories is.

**smsinhindi** · 04-18-2011, 10:53 AM

I too do article marketing but am not fully depend upon it. It is just apart of many other work.

**XdaDev** · 04-18-2011, 01:29 PM

Article submission is still effective way to get back links of your website

**bestseoexpert** · 04-19-2011, 04:45 AM

It is working very well.

to improve keywords .... What exactly?

This is half the problem, you really don't know what you are trying to achieve. So you use "machine gun tactics" spreading your effort far and wide in a vague hope that it might help something or other, maybe, if you're lucky, hopefully.

There is nothing positive about what you do (this is generally by the way, not just you)

directories: (link and article)

You get links from as many crappy, so called "SEO friendly" directories but only if they are free, and all those fairly useless links point to one page.
The majority of those links are buried in some dark corner of the directory pages and are utterly useless. Yet you clamour to get in because the numpty directory owner has done the same thing and one page, the "home" page now sports a glittering prize of SGB 3! The rest of the page will be lucky if they have even been indexed by search engines never mind have a "value" to pass on.

Article "marketing" is a similar scenario, the "article directories" are just dumping grounds for half wit content "writer" with the barest grasp of the English language republishing drivel that was of no use the first time around.
Here again the "valuable links" only point to one page.
Take a tip from "real world" publishers and put the article on YOUR WEBSITE then publish "teasers" that actually link to the main article, if it is good enough people ARE going to come to your site to read the whole thing.

Social "media" MARKETING not optimisation.

Once more it's only the one page you are promoting, learn some sense! Promote the most appropriate page for the audience.

If you want people to find what is on your site, POINT THEM TO IT.

Link building generally:

Maybe, in 79AD all roads did lead to Rome, but there is no need for all your links to lead to "Home". You spend all your efforts chasing two or three words for one page and you completely miss the value of getting hundreds of phrases pointing to specific pages.

Using the tactics of 1999 just don't cut it anymore, search engines and their users (your potential customers) have moved on and become more sophisticated, you have to move with them if you want to stay in business.
